会议背景介绍：
This conference will highlight state of the art and emerging nano-bio materials and devices and their role in the development of new security and defence systems. The aim is to review materials and device R&D, in progress, in both Europe and the USA, based on nano-bio materials technologies for photonic, electronic and optoelectronic applications and to promote closer collaboration and awareness of common objectives and potential advances. It will also seek to bring together researchers from different materials science, physics, chemistry, biology and engineering areas. The conference should be of interest to research scientists and engineers, project managers, senior scientific staff, materials producers and device manufacturers in Europe and the USA. Papers should focus on short technology reviews or recent results of new materials processes and devices, with particular application to security and defence technologies. The materials and devices may be based on nano-, bio- and metamaterials-based technologies including inorganics, organics, biopolymers, and hybrids as well as devices that take advantage of these materials technologies.征文范围及要求：
